This year I will:

• Moderate my portions, and eat more healthy things
• Try one new recipe (cooking or baking) each week
• Practice Tai Chi at least once each week
• Learn spoken Japanese well enough to express a variety of simple concepts
• Learn at least one meaning of each of the ~2,500 common Kanji
• Pray often, and earnestly

These aren’t so much “resolutions,” in the sense that I must do them perfectly every day or consider them forfeit. Instead, they are goals, which I will work towards throughout the year.

Happy New Year!
